JOHN A. YVIEDERSHEIM, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

BEVERAGE-SHAKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,321, dated July 2, 1889.

Application filed October 27, 1888. $erial No. 289,258. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN A. WIEDERsHEIM, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and use-' ful Improvement in Beverage-Shakers,which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in beverage-shakers; and it consists of a vesselholder carried by a yoke which encircles a rotatable eccentric, whereby both vertical and horizontal motions are imparted to the holder, and the shaker is compact and may be operated with ease and in a comparatively noiseless manner.

It further consists of the combination of parts as herein set forth and claimed.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a beverage-shaker embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a partial vertical section and side elevation thereof at a right angle to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of a modification. Fig. 4: represents a side elevation of a portion of a modification.

Similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a stand on which is mounted the driving-shaft B, the latter carrying a toothed wheel O,which meshes with a pinion D, whose shaft E is also mounted on the stand. Secured to the shaft E is an eccentric F, which is encircled by a yoke G, 011 which a glass or vessel to contain the beverage is supported. Projecting from the yoke is a neck H, which is slotted in the direction of its length, as at J, and through the slot passes a pin a, which is secured to a proper part of the stand, whereby, when motion is imparted to the yoke, the neck and pin serve to guide the yoke and prevent overturning of the same. The neck is shown in the different figures as horizontal, vertical, and oblique, without producing different results.

In the present case the glass or vesselholder consists of a dishing or flanged base K, on which the glass or vessel rests, a cap L, which covers the vessel, a bail M, which is pivoted on the base, and a screw N, which is fitted to the crown of the bail and engages with the cap L. v

A gasket or packing may be interposed between the cap and vessel, so that when the screw is tightened and the cap clamped in posit-ion leakage at the top of the vessel is prevented.

The operation is as follows: The screw is rotated and the cap thereby raised, whereby the cap may be thrown back, the vessel then being uncovered and may be removed, after which the vessel is supplied with the beverage to be shaken and restored to its position on the base K, the cap then being returned over the vessel and tightened thereagainst. Power is now applied to the shaft 13, whereby the eccentric rotates and the yoke receives motion. Owing to the course of the yoke, due to the eccentric, the vessel is thrown in various directions, notably backward and forward, in both vertical and horizontal or rising and falling and lateral directions, whereby the beverage will be violently agitated or shaken and consequently thoroughly mixed. The cap is then released and the vessel may be removed and the contents disposed of as desired.

Then the screw is not desired, a bail of spring or elastic metal may be pivoted to the base, so as to be forced over the cap and hold the same, either feature, broadly considered, being well known in closing devices.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A beverage shaker having a vesselholder, an oscillating yoke carrying said holder, an eccentric encircled by said yoke, and means for rotating said eccentric, said parts being combined substantially as described, whereby vertical and horizontal motions are imparted to the holder.

2. Abeverage-shaker consisting of an oscillating yoke, an eccentric encircling said yoke, means for rotating said eccentric, a vesselholder secured to the yoke, a closing-cap for the vessel, and a clamp for the cap, said parts being combined substantially as described.

3. In a beverage-shaker, an eccentric and 5. A beverage-shaker consisting of a frame, a rotary shaft with an eccentric mounted thereon, a yoke carrying a holder and having a neck with a slot, and a pin secured to the 2 frame and entering said slot, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
